Richards' family news.....

Many thanks to all of the people out there who already know about Bobby and have been praying for him!!

Billy Wade Richards (Bobby's son) and his wife Rhonda have been able to travel back and forth from Texas to Ohio, and both Rhonda and Billy spent this past weekend in Ohio visiting with Bobby, working with him, urging hand and/or leg and/or facial movement, etc. she had numerous conversations with his doctors, nurses, aids, physical therapists, etc.

We are proud to tell you all that through a miracle, he has done pretty remarkable while they have been there. he has had his eyes open a lot, blinks, moves his legs, arms, hands (all on command), which he had not been able to do. while at the hospital Rhonda would call various family members and friends so that she could hold the phone for Bobby to hear the voices. He did react (sometimes with tears) to the various voices. Rhonda, of course, has been in constant contact with Bobby's sister Laura in Colorado. Bobby was moved out of ICU @ Grant Memorial just this past Saturday to a rehabilitation facility called Select Victorian Village in Columbus, Ohio (apparently not far from the medical center where Grant was located).

We are praying our hearts out in hopes that Bobby will be Bobby again real soon!
